Real Furman Protection.
Affordable.
Introducing the Merit Z Series, rack-mount power conditioners with Exteme Voltage Shutdown, surge protection, and noise filtration. Built for integrators who demand Furman quality at a price that closes deals.
Why It Matters
Bad power kills good gear.
And your reputation.
Your clients trust you to spec equipment that performs every night, every session, every show. When dirty power causes hum, glitches, or catastrophic failure, it's your name on the line, not the power company's. For over 50 years, Furman has been the choice of audio engineers, broadcast professionals, and system integrators who refuse to gamble with power.

What Makes the Merit Z Series Different.
Exteme Voltage Shutdown (EVS)
EVS continuously monitors incoming AC power. If voltage spikes above 140V or drops below 85V, EVS instantly disconnects power to equipment before damage occurs. When power stabilizes, it reconnects automatically. No downtime. No blown gear. No service calls.
Standard-Level Surge Protection
6,500 Amps peak impulse current. 126 Joules energy dissipation. Line-to-neutral protection mode. Maximum clamping voltage: 455 Volts.
Noise Filtration
Greater than 20dB noise attenuation from 200kHz to 10MHz. RFI and EMI interference get filtered out before they reach your gear. Tighter bass, lower noise floor, cleaner audio.
Built for Integration
Steel chassis. Integrated rack ears. Generous wall-wart spacing. Front-panel diagnostic LED lights for breaker/EVS and protection status. Black painted finish.
Exclusive to M-8Dz
Dynamic Voltmeter: Always Watching Your Power.
The Dynamic Voltmeter continuously displays real-time incoming AC voltage. The LEDs dynamically change color and/or flash when cautionary or unsafe conditions are detected.
Green = safe. Yellow = caution. Flashing red = unsafe. No menus, no interpretation, no guesswork. From across a dark venue or studio, one glance tells you everything. Helps prevent downtime, extend equipment life, and protect valuable investments.
Available on M-8Dz onlyAvailable on M-8Lz & M-8Dz
Tuneable RGBW Pull-Out Lights.
Clean white for patching and setup. Subtle blue for studio ambiance. Whatever fits the room. Light up your rack for fast, clean setups in dark venues, studios, and install closets.
Pull-out design with dimmer knob and color cycling. No more holding a flashlight in your mouth while patching cables.
